I have been an avid donor my whole life (well over 10 gallons) until it became clear that our medical system had no concern for protecting the unvaccinated. This past Monday I had a colonoscopy and had to give consent (or not) to receiving blood in an emergency. When I made it clear that I do not want vaccinated blood, the woman checking me in suggested that I include a written condition next to my signature that I only want unvaccinated blood. She said this request has become quite common. I would certainly push for SafeBlood, or similar, to become a standard protocol but I am certain the fight for that will be quite difficult. I am happy to felon this fight though!
I was an avid blood donor my entire life...until I woke up to what was going on in the Red Cross and some of the things they do with blood. No regrets...but I would be more than willing to donate my blood to anyone I know that would need it.
